Presentation

VEGEBE, a modern professional association for vegetable processing and trade in industrial vegetables.

Partly as a result of the merger in 1998 of VGB and VIGEX, VEGEBE has developed into a fully-fledged professional federation for the sector that takes the leading role in various fields within the vegetable sector.

• Cooperation with Belgapom:
  VEGEBE has a joint-venture agreement with Belgapom, the federation for the potato trade and processing sectors, so that a secretariat is shared. Thanks to this cooperation, VEGEBE can make use of the synergy in various common dossiers.

• Cooperation with Fresh Trade Belgium:
  By means of the joint-venture agreement with Fresh Trade Belgium, the professional federation for fruit and vegetable exporters, the sphere of influence has been extended even further.

VEGEBE in the network of Belgian and European federations

VEGEBE is a member of Fevia, the Belgian federation for the food industry. In addition, VEGEBE is also a co-founder of OVPG (consultation platform for the trade in and processing of vegetable raw materials) together with the agricultural organisations of Vegaplan, the management body of the TQM chain standard for the primary production plants and vegetable products.

Since an increasing number of dossiers occur at European level, VEGEBE also took the initiative to within the PROFEL (European Federation for the Vegetable and Fruit Processing Industry) set up a sector group for frozen vegetables. In this way there is also a direct sector link to the CIAA (European Federation for the Food Industry).
